the work of the famed "Georgia Delegation" of Space: 1999 fandom. Lots of artwork, photos, articles, and more. Due to the air traffic controller's strike that occurred at the same time as the convention, many people who intended to attend were unable to make this convention so distribution of this program, due to the low attendance, was light.
This slick program featured a wrap around cover of the artwork of Steve Kyte. The inside featured a comicbook style adaptation of the 2nd season episode "The Taybor" (the only Year 2 episode that for some reason was left out of the paperback book adaptations); a centerfold blueprints of Gwent (The Infernal Machine) executed by Stephen Corbett from the original model by convention guest Martin Bower; some behind the scenes stories from the making of the series; and photos and biographies of the convention guests.

This great program featured an illustrated article on the "Year 3 Episode Guide".....a guide to the 24 "episodes" formed from the well known fan novels produced over the years & photos and messages from the series stars with their well wishes for a great convention. Program was done by Mare Fitzgerald.
This was an exhibition (rather than a convention) mounted by the City of Edinburgh recreation department, in co-operation with Fanderson and Gerry Anderson. It was held at the City Art Centre on Market Street from 1st March - 5th April 1986. While primarily focused on the puppet shows, Phil Rae's 1999 models were on display. The exhibition brochure, designed by Edinburgh planning department, is 16 pages glossy paper with impressive covers by Steve Kyte (front) and Graham Bleathman (rear). The pages describe the history of the shows, and mention the merchandising.
